The problem

Record applications, shrinking offer rates, and averages so high that marks alone no longer separate you from everyone else.

Who it's for

For students

You don't need another lecture about reaching your potential. You need someone to help you pick the right programs, write about what you've actually done, and stop guessing.

  • Pick programs that actually fit you
  • Write about what you've really done
  • Walk into interviews prepared

Why UPrep

01

Pay for exactly what you need

One session or a full package, you decide. No bundle you didn't ask for, and no upsell halfway through a call.

02

Guidance from someone one step ahead

Real, recent experience with the exact process you're in right now. Not advice from someone who applied decades ago.

03

Led by proven leadership

Hasham Ahmad went from a Grade 11 co-op student to Internship Program Manager at the same company, and has served as founder, operator and executive across multiple regional, national and international non-profits. That's the judgment behind every session.

04

You leave with a plan, not just a conversation

Every session ends with something written down. A roadmap, a note, a next step. You always know exactly what to do next.

Hasham Ahmad, founder of UPrep
A note from the founder
Guidance shouldn't cost a premium. In today's uncertain economy, every dollar counts, and when it comes to your child's future, it matters even more. I'm sick of companies charging absurd amounts of money just to guide a student. No middle-class family should have to choose between affordability and their child's future. I know mine couldn't afford it.
